Chapter 93 Young's Mystical Experience

Analytical psychologist Young has had many mystical experiences, from which he extracted ideas, sorted out the clues, and then shared them with the world. Young was a psychologist with mystical tendencies, and his life seems to have been filled with such experiences. He liked to fantasize since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, for some reason, he used a wooden ruler to carve a portrait and made a coat for it.He kept this woodcut figure and a round stone painted in two colors in a pencil case, hidden on a beam in the attic.When he was in school, he often wrote some coded messages on small pieces of paper, and then every once in a while, he sneaked into the attic and put these notes in a pencil case with wooden portraits, which was like some kind of mysterious ritual. .

When he was in medical school, a cousin was possessed by evil spirits, and Young attended the spiritual meeting held for her every week.Originally mediocre, uneducated, unattractive and shy cousin, after being possessed by an evil spirit, she became a wise, confident and mature woman. She claimed to be a Christian martyr in the era of King Nero in Rome. Later, she was reincarnated as a French countess, who was burned alive as a witch, and then reincarnated as a pastor's wife, who gave birth to an illegitimate child for Goethe. Younger's MD dissertation "On the Psychology and Pathology of Mysterious Phenomena" mainly discusses her cousin.Basically, he thinks these are the vivid fantasies of his cousin, which means she's a multiple personality.But there are still some unsolved mysteries, such as why the cousin is full of mature wisdom when she appears in another personality?Can come up with insights beyond her life experience and intelligence?

These two personal experiences are not unrelated to Young's theory of collective subconsciousness in the future. Young himself said: Every psychology has a subjective color, and I know that every word I say has my own. Including subjective elements, there are my personal historical background and special environmental elements. A keen person must be someone who extracts ideas from personal experience, sorts out the clues, and then shares them with others.
